on heatin, 0.02mol of the element M reacts with 0.025mol of oxygen gas. What is the empirical formula of the oxide of M? The mole ratio is .025/.02=1.25 or 5/4 So the O2 has a ratio of 5 to one Metal. M4 (O2)5= M>sub>4 O 10 or writing it in lowest whole numbers M 2 O 5 why'd u put the mole ratio as 0.025/0.02 as opposed to 0.02/0.025? You could have, I did the mole ratio as O2/M, doing it your way would have given M/O2. Same end result. OOkkk thnx much

The mole ratio is .025/.02=1.25 or 5/4

So the O2 has a ratio of 5 to one Metal.

M4 (O2)5= M>sub>4O₁₀ or writing it in lowest whole numbers
M₂O₅

why'd u put the mole ratio as 0.025/0.02 as opposed to 0.02/0.025?

You could have, I did the mole ratio as O2/M, doing it your way would have given M/O2. Same end result.
